	Internal links, also known as Wikilinks, use double square brackets: <code><nowiki>[[page name\|hyperlinked text]]</nowiki></code>. For example, linking the ~~SOPs~~ page would look like this: <code><nowiki>[[~~SOPs~~]]</nowiki></code> <math>\rightarrow</math> [[~~SOPs~~]] OR <code><nowiki>[[~~SOPs~~\|~~List of SOPs~~]]</nowiki></code><math>\rightarrow</math> [[~~SOPs~~\|~~List of SOPs~~]]. When linking to a page that already exists, the link will appear blue (or purple, if you have already visited the page). If creating a link to a new page, the link will appear red—this is the most common way to start a new page. To create a new page, click on a red link and hit "create this page". See our [[Sample Page Template]] for new pages.		Internal links, also known as Wikilinks, use double square brackets: <code><nowiki>[[page name\|hyperlinked text]]</nowiki></code>.

	MediaWiki provides many tools for formatting text within a page—see their formatting [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Cheatsheet cheatsheet]. The syntax required to make any formatting adjustments is simple to learn, but is not necessary for the visual editor or in the source editor if you are using toolbar shortcuts. Learn more about formatting options by clicking [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting here].

	Admins have implemented two types of editing: visual editing and source editing. To use the visual editor, click "Edit"—this should load an editable version of the page which looks similar to what you would see in "Read" mode. To use the source editor, click "Edit source"—this pulls up a [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext_examples Wikitext] editing interface, which has an editing shortcuts toolbar at the top. Any edits can be typed directly into the editing box. Text can also be typed up on an external word processor and copy pasted into the editing window. If you would only like to edit an individual section of a page you can click "Edit" or "Edit source" next to the header of the section.

	While the visual editor is good for minor edits, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the source editor for larger revisions that may require more complex syntax. For example, adding formulae can only be done by enclosing your text with <nowiki><math>...</math></nowiki>. (<nowiki><math>E=mc^2</math></nowiki> <math>\rightarrow E=mc^2</math>). For more on LaTeX, feel free to read some basics on [https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/List_of_Greek_letters_and_math_symbols Overleaf].

	From the source editor, clicking "Show preview" will allow you to see how the page will look with the new edits. Clicking show changes will display differences between the current version of the page and the edited version. Adding a short summary to an edit like “fixed typo” or “added information on optical microscopy” helps other users track changes more effectively. Once the page is edited and a short summary is written, click “Save changes” to save the edits.
